Rural Development within the U.S. Department of Agriculture has planned three roundtable forums in Missouri on "Smart" Rural Community development.

A Smart Rural Community uses broadband high speed networks to enable applications that the community can leverage for innovative economic development and commerce, education, health care, government services, security and more efficient energy distribution and use. Broadband facilitates greater interconnection of the community's resources and can prepare and enable citizens' participation in the global economy.

Attend one of the forums to learn how your community can become a "smart" community.
